I can't believe it's already been two weeks since the last development log, time really flies sometimes! I'm still working on the last scene, and it's roughly 80% done now. I've made a good number of animations already and decided to finalize the build with this scene. (I considered adding some extra small sexy content for a certain character, but I'll be skipping that for this update.)
On a personal note, I’ve finally wrapped up some matters that had been keeping me busy for the past four months, so now I can fully focus on the last game elements in my spare time again! Also, I should probably stop giving estimates, there are just too many variables that affect how much time I can spend on the game. I feel bad when I don't meet my self-imposed targets, which can be a bit demotivating. So instead, I'll just share what I'm currently working on or thinking about. That seems like the best approach, as I probably mentioned in a devlog before, hehe.
Now, back to the main topic: My current to-dos include finishing the final scene, working on the audio, tackling the to-do list I’ve built up during development, proofreading the final parts, and beta testing. That should wrap it up! Also, let me know if there’s a specific language you’d like to see in-game! I'll be uploading AI/machine-translated translations in a separate update (e.g., 0.3.1 or something). I’m considering developing a tool that interacts with ChatGPT or another AI for translating my template. Nothing is decided yet, but this would likely give the best results without spending a fortune. Plus, having pre-generated translations makes it much easier for native speakers to proofread and refine them!
That’s it for this weekend! Wishing you all a great week ahead, take care, stay healthy, and eat some bamboo (or better not, I don't know if it's good for hooman)! ❤

Dev Diary 90
Hello fine people, TD here.
Currently, Ch4Up6 sits at a total of 457 static images, 18 animations, and 11,571 words.
That comes out to 214 images, 0 animations, and 4,691 words since our last diary two weeks ago.
Pretty good progress all things considering GIL had quite a few technical issues to overcome these last couple of weeks. There was complications with his new graphic card, issues with a faulty water heater triggering his breaker, a friend going through a personal crisis, and HoneySelect being a capricious bitch that caught aids. No, I'm not going to explain that last part. I barely understand it myself.
Anyway, all things that can fuck up your groove creatively, but GIL stands on business. I'm always grateful that he's in charge of the hard part of the project.
Other than that, things got a bit changed around around since the last diary. We finished the two important scenes that I mentioned, but a couple more cropped up before we can properly move into Carnation Club business. These were character points I planned on hitting later in the update, but decided on utilizing earlier to better support Edwin's character in the aftermath of a particular revelation, as well as giving him something to draw on during the madness of exhibition 3.
So with that in mind, right now we're working on quite the nice Hana scene. This is an optional one for HanaGF havers: it starts early, and will be a throughline all the way to the end to the closing moments of the update. Players who have been loyal to Hana (or have been happily two timing her) will finally have something to chew on.
After that, we've got a similarly important Mina scene for those who favors quadtails over twintails, predicated on Edwin making a statement toward her during last update’s rock show. Mina is among the characters who needs advancement the most in my opinion. Hell, GIL considers her my redheaded stepchild, despite my protests that I do adore her.
The thing is: she’s got a lot of variability to juggle, and while last update did a nice enough job positioning her in the variety of ways that I need her, she’s always been lacking in the “girlfriend experience.” She’s the only heroine that didn’t get a major date in week 3, and I feel she’s fallen behind in the pursuit of letting other characters take a stab at her. So look forward to a little course correcting with that, Mina enjoyers.
I will stop my rambling now.
As always, thanks for you support. It means a tremendous amount to us.
